You can use curl itself, just set a SOCKS5 proxy with --socks5. Simply point it to the address of a running tor instance. So on arch linux for example, install the tor package, start the systemd service and use localhost:9050 as the proxy.

Tor comes packaged with torify which you can prefix any CLI command with to have it route through Tor and resolve onion sites properly.

I never knew about these CLI tools being packaged with Tor. After some research, torify nowadays is a wrapper around torsocks and one should use torsocks directly instead. I even found an 8 year old post citing the man page:

man torify:

"It is provided for backward compatibility; instead you should use torsocks."

Torsocks is what I use, personally. You just put 'torsocks' in front of whatever command line you can normally use. Works for gui programs, too.

Good to know, its easy usage. Do you/I need to have Tor installed on the system, in order for Torsocks to work?

Officially from the Tor Project there is also oniux. From the blog, "a small command-line utility providing Tor network isolation for third-party applications using Linux namespaces".

Even command line video downloaders such as yt-dlp & co. have an option for proxying the request over SOCKS, and the Tor daemon provides one. IIRC you'd do something like $command --proxy socks5://127.0.0.1:9050 $url.

It’s not exactly a single tool, but torsocks kind of enables doing what you’re describing. The syntax would be something like torsocks curl $url

oniux might be exactly what you're looking for.

It was still in early development when I played with it months ago, so I'm not sure if it's ready for daily usage, but it's from the Tor Project team themselves, so I imagine it will only keep getting better.

@communism Just use curl and wget with the torsocks wrapper.
